Stationeers received a new update and it’s spearheaded by the release of a multiplayer refactor and the fix for the game-hanging issue.
Multiplayer
The latest update features the release of a multiplayer refactor, which resolved several issues and optimized the code. The developer completely removed DRM along with any requirement for the game to run on Steam. However, this opened a new set of technical problems, translated as connectivity issues for some players. The dev team is working hard to resolve these issues quickly.
Game Hanging While Loading
